Nice. But the title is wrong.

@grafikfeat how's the title wrong? I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow>I Am A Man Of Constant Sorrow>Indian War Whoop.

Everybody's right! The "Drunken Presbyterian" is John's version of the Ed Haley version of "Man of Constant Sorrow", which is different than/predates the Stanley Brothers' version, which is the one everybody knows from the film. Hope this helps. You might also want to check out this - /watch?v=p_FoiLovFb0 - same tune, with lyrics - in the liner notes they credit it to Ed Haley.

@ TheZwieblekopf, because the actual song is called 'the drunken presbetarian'. listen to the melody. does that sound like 'i am a man of constant sorrow, i've seen trouble all my days'? i'm not sure why they put that typo on the album, but i recognized it when i heard the movie, since i play the fiddle

A virtuoso you could party with.

As I am now.

In your Honor, John!

Thanks for the post.

I played both of these songs at my Godmother's funeral. She was pretty much my mom. Thank you for posting this as now it helps my little one get to sleep. And leaves me with pleasant thoughts of my Harriette. The angel that watches over my little ones now. Thank you, this should be on youtube indeed.
